The family and friends of Tom Schlegel would like to ask you to join us for the 12th annual Tom Schlegel Memorial 5K road race on October 14, 2018. One of Neuqua Valley’s most inspiring staff members, Tom Schlegel passed away on October 13th, 2006, after fighting a yearlong battle of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. As a former physical education teacher and assistant football coach, he has impacted the lives of many over the years. Defined by his faith, love, and character, Tom was a humble man always putting others before himself and never taking recognition for anything. A loving husband, dedicated father, approachable teacher, motivating coach, and loyal friend, Tom simply lived life “the way everyone should.”
